Oh I didn't even know they had a desktop app. I'm using Mailbox exclusively on iPhone/iPad so your post title got me worried, you could be more precise ;)

Oh the good old days.. I was rendering WML/CHTML/XHTML with Wurfl depending on UAs from hacked ASP.NET. Then iPhone appeared and ruined everything ;)

I would say that Hacker News' few hundred thousand users are extremely significant both for YC and web-wise. I really hope we'll not end up with a Facebook-only Internet because that's the only service big enough to keep runn

Of course this can't be DoubleClick only. But please tell us more about the business model, I see you're a Google employee.

My point is that this project is not about providing value to the user. Google could have done that more easily. It may not be so sinister because it's a badly thought out approach indeed. Although they got quite a few big partners alr

Ok but that still shows how much Google cares about open standards. And did you just say "few tens of millions" of users is insignificant? How many users are we here on Hacker News again?

What annoys me is how Google is selling this project. At least Facebook is honest about their Instant Articles. This isn't an "open standard" guys, and it's not about performance! It's about the single piece of js t

Interesting concept and good looks, but the initial movie selection can be irrelevant - it is for me. I'd like to see the results but I couldn't go through skipping that many movies. You could let the user search and select the 14
